KOC 17th Charity Golf Tournament – October 13
Your Knights’ annual golf tournament is happening on Friday, October 13, and we need YOUR support. In the 17 years the council has hosted this tournament, it has raised (with the help from some tremendous sponsors like YOU) over $175,000 for local and statewide charities such as: Abby’s Angels, Coweta and Fayette County Meals on Wheels, Bridging the Gap, One Roof, Coweta Pregnancy Service, Special Olympics, St. Vincent DePaul, Midwest Food Bank, Coweta Samaritan Clinic, and more!
With the economic hardships so many of God’s people now face, the need to support these agencies is greater than ever before. So, whether you are a scratch golfer looking for prizes, a bad golfer looking to bid on a Falcons and UGA helmet, or a blessed person who would like to help us bring some of God’s light to the world (as a donor, First Responder sponsor, or hole sponsor), WE NEED YOU! There will also be a raffle for LOTS of prizes and a silent auction for an AMAZING Chattanooga getaway and much more! Hole sponsors and major donors will be recognized with signs on the course for all participants to see. If you can help, please
contact Tournament Chairman, Chuck Clayton (info below). Mark your calendars NOW, and we’ll see you there! Please contact Tournament Chairman, Chuck Clayton, at 470.430.8293 or charles7194@gmail.com OR Ken Kula at 770.317.1581 for more information.
When: October 13 – Registration begins at 8 am with a Shotgun Start at 10 am.
